Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 Confirmed for February 22 with Affordable PPV Pricing

Turki Alalshikh Aims to Deliver Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 at a Fan-Friendly Price Point

The highly anticipated rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol is officially set for February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Turki Alalshikh, a key figure behind the event, has revealed his commitment to making the blockbuster card accessible to fans globally by offering the pay-per-view (PPV) at a significantly lower price than what U.S. consumers typically pay.

Alalshikh announced that the PPV will cost no more than £19.99 in the UK and $25.99 in the U.S., a fraction of the standard rates for major boxing events. This move is aimed at ensuring the card reaches as wide an audience as possible, further solidifying Saudi Arabia’s growing presence on the global boxing stage.

A Stacked Card with Must-See Matchups

The event doesn’t stop with the Beterbiev vs. Bivol rematch. Fans will be treated to an undercard stacked with world-class matchups:

• Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) vs Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KO)
• Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield
• Vergil Ortiz Jr. (22-0, 21 KO) vs Israil Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KO)
• Zhilei Zhang (27-2-1, 22 KO) vs Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KO)
• Carlos Adames (24-1, 18 KO) vs Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0, 17 KO)

The event has already sparked significant buzz, with some touting it as potentially the greatest fight card in boxing history. Whether or not it lives up to that lofty claim will ultimately be up to the fans, but the value for the price point is undeniable.

Adjustments to Ortiz’s Opponent

One notable change involves Vergil Ortiz Jr. Initially slated to face Jaron “Boots” Ennis, the bout was scrapped after disagreements over the weight class. Ortiz is now set to face Israil Madrimov, provided Madrimov emerges unscathed from his upcoming clash with Serhii Bohachuk. If Madrimov cannot compete, Xander Zayas is reportedly on standby as a contingency opponent, ensuring Ortiz’s place on the card remains secure.
